Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin, along with new QB Carson Wentz looks to build off of a frustrating 2021 season. The Commanders held a 7-10 record on the season.
The organization is hoping Wentz returns to his old self, coming over from the Indianapolis Colts. As for McLaurin, he’s poised to be the top threat in what should be a well-balanced Commanders attack.
Below, we look at Terry McLaurin‘s 2022 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
McLaurin played in 17 games last season and had his 2nd straight 1,000-yard season. While the 2019 3rd-round draft pick from Ohio State is a stud, his team’s revolving door of quarterbacks has weakened his outlook.
Terry McLaurin’s ADP: 49.82
(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)
McLaurin has an ADP of 49.82 in redraft leagues, which puts him in the 5th round of the draft. His ADP is the highest on the Washington Commanders roster.
Among wide receivers, McLaurin’s ADP puts him 24th at the position, behind the likes of D.J. Moore (Carolina Panthers), Jaylen Waddle (Miami Dolphins), Diontae Johnson (Pittsburgh Steelers), and slightly ahead of Mike Williams (Los Angeles Chargers) and D.K. Metcalf (Seattle Seahawks).

Where should you draft McLaurin?
McLaurin’s fantasy value should get a boost this season with the arrival of Wentz, who should be a more capable, veteran presence than QB Taylor Heinicke who had a 65% completion rate last season.
He was not a volume-heaving passing option. Wentz should be able to give them that presence.
McLaurin will be doing everything for this receiving corps and should thrive as the No. 1 option. WR Curtis Samuel being healthy could also benefit McLaurin’s numbers. He’s had 130 or more targets in 2 straight seasons and topped 1,000 in both despite struggling quarterbacks.
Expect all 3 trends to continue.
McLaurin has great upside in the 4th round and should be an early pick in that round. Given his receiving load, reaching for him in PPR formats would make sense as he should be a reception machine this season.
Early 4th is when to start targeting him.
